Bulgaria has been and remains a popular and beloved country for Russian tourists. The reasons are obvious: low prices, warm sea and no language barrier. What is the all-inclusive service here? What can hotels 3 *, 4 *, 5 * offer and what are the prices for tours in 2021 to Bulgaria? Details in our material.
Peculiarities of holidays in Bulgaria
Some of the nuances should be emphasized:
- To visit Bulgaria in 2021, Russians still need a visa - the national Bulgarian or a valid Schengen visa.
- The country has its own currency - leva, with which it is very profitable to pay (1 lev = about 38 rubles). At the same time, euro is accepted in large stores and shopping centers.
- Although the Cyrillic alphabet is used in the Bulgarian language, it can be difficult to understand the words by ear and sometimes in writing. But don't worry! Most residents understand Russian, and if we are talking about an all-inclusive vacation, then they will definitely speak your language.
TOP-5 resorts in Bulgaria
When is the best time to rest
The beach season in Bulgaria lasts from May to September. However, in late summer it is already chilly in the evenings, and the water may not be very comfortable for swimming. The daytime air temperature in the middle of summer is about + 25 ° С, in May, late August and September - about + 20 ... + 22 ° С. The water is warmed up in about the same way - the temperature is +20 ... + 24 ° С. But + 30 ° C is already an abnormal heat, and such a temperature does not happen here often.
There are many beaches in the Bulgarian resorts - there are comfortable, wild, private and even nudist ones.
Where is the best place to rest
The most popular resorts are Sunny Beach, Pomorie, Primorsko, Golden Sands, Nessebar, Balchik, as well as large cities - Varna and Burgas, where living is a little cheaper. Of course, you can stay in Sofia, but it will be very far from the sea.
There are also less well-known resorts in Bulgaria, and often tourists like their vacation there more - these are Albena, Ustieto, Ahtopol, St. Constantine and Elena. These places are quieter, cheaper, but hotels with all-inclusive meals are almost never found.

There are also drawbacks in the "fours". For example, not very new plumbing, too cold water in the pool. There may also be beaches that are not ideal in terms of cleanliness, or there may be no private beach at all - then you have to pay extra for a sunbed and an umbrella every day. Sometimes tourists report problems with Wi-Fi, but there are a lot of open networks in Bulgaria, so connect to them.

Reviews of tourists about the vacation "all inclusive" in Bulgaria
Reviews need to be read very carefully! It may turn out that a 2 * all-inclusive hotel is better in terms of service quality and location than a 3 * or 4 * with the same catering system. Sometimes vacationers note that dirty dishes, rare cleaning and incompetent staff are found in hotels of the highest level. It happens that the hotel has saunas and swimming pools, but they are poorly monitored, and you will not get pleasure from visiting. Of the indisputable advantages of 5-star hotels - a good location and a view from the windows, because the beaches are very picturesque.
An all-inclusive vacation is a great option for a trip to Bulgaria in 2021, because the sandy beaches, the Black Sea and excellent infrastructure make the vacation almost perfect - and at very reasonable prices. The resorts are suitable for single travelers, couples and families with children.
